I used a piece of commercial felt carpet pad ( 1/2 -5/8 thick)...This pad is quite dense compared to the felt pads I have seen some years ago used in home applications. Used construction cement ( Panel adhesive ) in a caulk gun... applied the caulk in 1/4" beads spaced about 6-12 inches apart. I also used about a number of plastic push- in attach clips in the hood rib areas... Got these from a junk yard, these are used in some car trunks and hood liners to hold the sound deadening material in place.
